One of the many things I like about this novel is the way it portrays the love/hate relationship between the Party and online groups. On the one hand, the Party benefits from what the online groups know. On the other, for obvious reasons, it doesn't like them. I think that's very well done here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
